Government Units
SECTION 25. National Supervision over Local
Government Units
Consistent with the basic policy on local autonomy, the
President shall exercise general supervision over local
government units to ensure that their acts are within the
scope of their prescribed powers and functions. The
President shall exercise supervisory authority directly over
provinces, highly urbanized cities, and independent
component cities; through the province with respect to
component cities and municipalities; and through the city
and municipality with respect to Barangays.
National agencies and offices with project implementation functions shall coordinate with
one another and with the local government units concerned in the discharge of these
functions.
The President may, upon request of the local government unit concerned, direct the
appropriate national agency to provide financial, technical, or other forms of assistance
to the local government unit. Such assistance shall be extended at no extra cost to the
local government unit concerned.
